1. Oakman Folder- sign Behavior calendar for FEBRUARY!!! *** Please see spelling paper from today and remember to practice letter formation on the lines for test on FRIDAY!!!

1. Reading bag- 40 TOTAL NEW SIGHT WORDS ARE IN THEIR BAGS— come, for, are, said, this, one, little, play, me, here, am, do, not, who, with, I, like, the, see, we, go, can, she, a, at, is, was, will, he, has, on, in, and, you, up, look, it, my, to, and dog. Practice each night to MEMORIZE THESE WORDS!* TEST OVER ALL 40 words will be when we come back from Mid-Winter break!!!*
2. READING GROUP BAG — READ everyday and focus on fluency and comprehension. *If your child did not get a new book, focus on RETELLING— new books will not be given everyday so more focus can be on comprehension. To move UP reading levels students need to be able to read the words accurately and COMPREHEND (understand what I read). After reading books, please practice using the handout for the “retelling rope” see picture below!! (Don’t forget to ask your child– what was your favorite part of the story and WHY? or what did this story remind you of?)

4. Math Homework MODULE 4 Book, Lesson 8— homework helper is on page 31 and homework is on page 33 (Try “challenge” on the back!)

5. Spelling Notebook:

• Spelling words are glued into your child’s spelling notebook. We will have our test on Friday, February 14th!!!

• Wednesday: Building Words!
  • Write each spelling word one letter at a time, for example:

c                           h

ca                         ho

cat                       hom

                            home

7. NEW library books were chosen yesterday. Students can keep at home and return after Mid-Winter break (Monday, Feb. 24) and we will check out new books on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

Reminders:

Tomorrow is college day. Wear a shirt or hat of your favorite college!

Friday will be our Valentine’s Day Party at school. Students are asked to make 22 Valentine cards to pass to their friends (such as picture below). I am asking that students bring in a shoe box by Friday so that we can decorate them with stickers to make a “mailbox” to keep all their cards from their friends!

Thanks for all you do!!!!🙂

Love,

Mrs. Rawson
